EXCEL esports officially announces new Valorant Champion’s Tour team

British esports organization EXCEL has officially revealed the full lineup for their new Valorant squad just in time for the next stage of the Champion’s Tour.

A brand new UK-based Valorant squad will be joining the battle to make it through the VCT Stage 2 EU Open Qualifiers as announced by EXCEL esports just before matches begin on March 30.

EXCEL, which also fields teams in Fortnite and League of Legends is one of the 10 founding teams of the LEC, and will now be looking to make their mark in Valorant.

The club announced former G2 Esports CSGO player David ‘Davidp’ Prins as captain earlier in the month, but it wasn’t until March 29, a day before the Stage 2 Open Qualifiers started, that we found out the rest of the lineup.

Davidp will be joined by former EnVyUs pro Vincent ‘Happy’ Cervoni as the two lead the squad with the most amount of big-time esports experience.
